1996 Map of Cutter

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Cutter stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Sierra County, where the topography is defined by a series of prominent drainage systems. The terrain is marked by significant erosion patterns, including Jornada Draw, Hackberry Draw, and Putnam Draw, which channel seasonal water across the Pedro Armendaris No 33 land grant. Traces of human activity and industry are evident through the Old RR Grade and localized extraction sites such as Graves and a Gravel Pit. Low-lying Jornada Lakes and man-made features like a Check Dam and No 7 Tank illustrate the historical necessity of water management in this arid environment. Elevation shifts are anchored by landmarks like Black Hill, while local genealogy is represented by a small Cem located near the primary settlement.
